7. That's about what I thought. Really, really horrible.

I cannot believe the way our media is whitewashing this * outrage. He should be facing mass murder charges, right behind Milosovich, in the Hague. More than 500 of our peoople as well as thousands of innocent Iraqis have been killed FOR NOTHING.

2. Perhaps it's a response to . . .

The article published in Gulf Daily News (from Bahrain) in which they said:

WASHINGTON: Iraqi resistance forces, led by remnants of former President Saddam Hussein's government, have been "brought to their knees" and reduced to a sporadic threat, a US commander in Iraq said yesterday.

Army Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, who commands the 4th Infantry Division in Iraq, said Saddam's capture near Tikrit dealt a significant blow to the insurgency.

He said these forces "are still a threat, but a fractured sporadic threat with the leadership destabilised, finances interdicted and no hope of the Baathists' return to power."

He said: "The former regime elements we've been combating have been brought to their knees. Capturing Saddam was a major operational and psychological defeat for the enemy." . . . . .

The article seems to have been pulled now, but once resided at: http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Articles.asp?Article=72348&Sn=WORL

3. these idiots

act like there is a finite number of resisters who can be stamped out like bugs. Don't they realize every day they illegally occupy Iraq young men - perhaps even women - are training to be terrorists? This war is creating more terrorism than it is eradicating.

4. My God. It's like waving a red flag in front of enraged bulls.

Unfortunately, the "matador" who faces those mad cows isn't instigator bush* but our sons, daughters, wives, and husbands.
